Compression Socks (Socks with Benefits)
Want to feel your best?
Compression socks and stockings help your veins move blood up from your feet back to your heart to improve circulation, reduce leg pain and swelling, and ward off varicose veins.
Long periods of sitting or being on your feet can lead to poor circulation causing tired heavy legs. Medical conditions, pregnancy, or long travel can place added pressure on lower extremity veins. The correct compression stockings can help prevent blood from pooling in your legs, development of varicose veins and spider veins, and can decrease the risk of blood clots. If your job or lifestyle puts you at risk, compression socks can help.
Socks and stockings now come in a variety of length, colors, styles, and fabrics. Chat with one of our qualified staff to determine what's best for you. We offer everyday compression for healthy living, and can fit you for prescription compression as well.
So if you're tired of "heavy legs" or just want to stay healthy, come see one of the certified compression fitters at The Saanich Medicine Shoppe.
